After 50 long days out at sea, exhausted, Kobi the fabled travels the Orario Seas looking for refuge after losing his crew to a mysterious entity. He sails for hours, trying to remember the location of the expansive kingdom. After finding the land of Orario, he docks at the capital of Gratsid and is immediately thrown in jail as he is a wanted man in these lands due to being forced to work for the goblin King. Kobi the fabled is a human who has lived a hard life. He's been a sailor, a lover, a pirate, and now a prisoner.

While trying to break the cell lock, Kobi the fabled has an interesting encounter in the Gratsid dungeons with a man who calls himself Frederick the Brave. Frederick was a knight in the town of Greenwood who dreamed of being a great knight serving the Dwayne royal family, and Kobi had no idea what he had gotten himself into.

''Hello, young buck,'' Kobi said to Frederick the brave as he stood at the entrance of the cell.

''You're a scummy pirate; I'm not surprised you're working with the goblins'' Frederick stated in disgust.

''I don't have a choice; if I don't work for the goblins, then they will kill me, but I've had enough; I've seen the state of these slums in Gratsid; I need to kill Grom the Goblin King''.

Frederick laughed mockingly, ''Well then, you're just going to have to be a hero, aren't you a pirate?''

''I've seen that badge before; it's the badge of the Greenwood Knights, so what are you doing so far from Greenw-'' Kobi asked.

''I don't need to tell you anything dirty pirate'' Frederick interjected bluntly.

Kobi the Fabled spoke in a somber voice, ''Look, I don't want any trouble anymore; my days on the sea are over!''

''Well, I'm looking for my friend; he was captured by the goblins, and they are holding him hostage. I need to find him and free him'' Frederick answered with desperation in his tone.

Kobi sighed, ''Well, it looks like we have a common enemy; if you want to rescue your friend, you are going to need some help, and I'm locked up in here''

Frederick Grunted and pulled out his keys. ''As soon as my friend is safe, I'll have you locked up straight away.

As Frederick opened the cell, Kobi gave him a look of mutual respect for the duration of their mission, as they would need allies along their long journey.

''So who is your friend that needs rescuing?'' Kobi asked while leaving the cell.

''His name is George the devious; he's a poor boy who has been kidnapped by the goblins.''

''So if I help you, will you help me kill the goblin king?'' Kobi asked.

''Of course, Grom needs to pay for how he treated my friend'' Frederick said with determination.

They both left the dungeons and were making their way out of the castle when they came across the king's quarters.

They peer around the corner to see a young member of the royal Dwayne family trying to escape through the window. ''Hey! You are going to hurt yourself; what are you doing?'' Kobi shouted.

The young boy turned around; it was William, the son of King Dwayne IV. ''I'm escaping; I'm sick and tired of being locked up in this castle,'' William replied.

''Don't worry, we are not going to tell anyone'' Frederick snickered.

Kobi whispered to Frederick, ''He's a part of the royal Dwayne bloodline; he must be powerful; he could help us take down Grom.

''We can help you escape if you want to help us kill the goblin king and save George the devious,'' Frederick asked.

William agreed, ''if we can kill the goblin king, then I'm all in; my dads been at war with him and The Filth for years now''

''He needs to be stopped! Let's get going before he causes any more torment,'' Kobi said, and they were on their way.

''So tell me about yourself, Frederick the brave'' William asked.

''I'm a knight in the town of Greenwood, and I have sworn an oath to protect the innocent. I've wanted to be one of your dad's knights for all my life.''

''That's beautiful, Frederick; what is your story, Kobi the fabled?'' William asked.

Kobi told them of his life at sea and the many adventures he had been on. ''I was a pirate captain until I was captured by the goblins, and my crew was killed. Now I want to kill the goblin king and get my revenge for what he's done to so many innocents.''

Rage filled all of their minds after hearing this harrowing story. They are starting to realise that they have more in common than they think, and they are determined to kill the goblin king and save George the devious from his life of sex slavery.

The goblin king sat upon his throne, and the great hall of the goblin castle was filled with his minions. He was an imposing figure, his skin a dark green and his eyes black as night. He wielded a large double-edged battle axe and used it any chance he could.

''Come forth, my loyal subjects; the time has come for us to make our move and take over the city of Gratsid!'' the goblin king yelled, and the goblins roared in excitement.

''ho-w wiill we take ovver the kingg-dom?'' one of the goblins asked in broken English.

the goblin king smiled, ''with the help of our new ally...''

the doors burst open and a man in a black cloak walked into the hall, he looked like a human but his face was covered in black scars, his eyes were red and his teeth were sharp.

''greetings my lord'' The mysterious figure said, bowing down before the goblin king.

''hello Damian the Dark Warlock, welcome to our kingdom'' the goblin king replied, his voice cold and sinister.

''it is an honor to be here my lord, I hope we can be allies and conquer the kingdom together'' Damian said.

in the corner George the devious was being punished purely for the goblins amusement. ''someone please help me'' he shouts desperately.

The goblin king smacks him and says, "Shut up, boy, you serve me and me only.

George, the devious, looks away in shame.

The goblin king laughs and turns his attention back to Damian. ''We have a common enemy, the Dwayne family, and their kingdom, Orario''

''Yes, my lord, I will do whatever you ask of me, and in return, you will give me the power to destroy them'' Damian replies.

''That is the deal; now go forth and take the kingdom, make it ours, and bring me their heads'' the goblin king yells.

Meanwhile, King Dwayne spots Kobi, Frederick, and William fleeing the castle. ''What are you up to, William, and who is this stranger?'' King Dwayne says locking eyes with Kobi the Fabled

''Me and my new friends are off to visit the cafeteria; that's all, dad, William replies.

The king sighs and goes back to his paperwork. ''Just keep him out of trouble, Knight''

''Of course, sir, I will make it my duty. Frederick speaks in a serious tone.

Kobi, Frederick, and William quickly flee the castle and begin to look for clues on the whereabouts of the goblin king, Grom the goblin king.

They are approached by a young elf woman who says, ''It's you! You are looking for Grom; the goblin king has been spotted training his army in the slums'' she says.

''Thank you, come on guys, let's go'' Kobi replies, and the three men are on their way to the Gratsid slums.

As they enter the slums, they see the goblins getting ready for a battle. The open area in the slums has a yellow hue, and destroyed homes dominate the wasteland.

''These goblins are nothing; they can't even hold a sword properly'' f=Frederick the brave remarks, and Kobi smiles. ''Show me what you can do with that claymore, Frederick, and I will show me some of that famous Dwayne magic, William''

William smirks and pulls out a wand from his robe. ''This is my Arcane staff; it has been passed down from generation to generation in my family, and today, I will use it to defeat the goblins!''

Frederick and Kobi get into position, and as the goblins start to charge towards them, Kobi the Fabled draws his famous pirate cutlass.

''Time for a little Dwayne magic; this is going to be fun'' William shouts and fires a ball of blue energy at the first line of goblins. The ball of energy fizzles out, and barley damages any goblins.

''That's all you got, human?'' one of the goblin captains asks.

William laughs nervously, ''I am not ready for this!''

Frederick shouts from across the battlefield, '' You are a part of the most prestigious royal family; feel your emotions, William; control them!

William Dwayne closes his eyes. Everything goes quiet. He sees his father in his mind and how he must protect him. He awakens again and fires another ball of energy; this one is yellow and is a fireball. The fireball hits the ground and engulfs a group of goblins.

''Hahahahahaha, I can do this; I can really do this!'' William says in excitement.

Frederick takes out his claymore and charges towards the army.

''There's too many of them; we can't win'' Frederick the brave screams.

''There must be a way; we just need to be smart about it,'' William responds.

''Tell us your plan, William'' Kobi the fabled replied, desperate to hear a solution.

William smiles. ''Although crafty, these goblins are weak and stupid; if we can separate them from the goblin king, we will have the upper hand and can take them out one by one.

Kobi and Frederick nod in unison, and they get ready to put William's plan into action.

The goblins charge forward, led by the goblin king. He is an imposing figure, and his great goblin army follows behind his thundering footsteps.

William points his wand at the goblin king and fires a blast of green energy at him. The blast misses the goblin king and hits a goblin next to him, exploding the goblin and killing it instantly, spreading blood all over the goblin king.

''You are all scum!'' Grom screamed.

Frederick the brave releases a war cry and slices goblins one by one with his claymore. Kobi takes out his magic telescope that can see the unseen and spots Damian the black warlock charging up a dark spell. His face is covered in scars, and his eyes are a glowing red.

''It looks like we have a new threat on our hands!'' Kobi yelled to his companions.

''I do not like the look of him'' William Dwayne replies

''Get the goblin king, William, Frederick, and I will take care of the other goblins and the warlock; good luck!'' Kobi shouts, and the trio split up, Kobi charging towards the black warlock, Cutlass in hand, ready to slice and dice the pathetic wizard.

The goblin king sees William Dwayne and his Arcane staff; he knows that he needs to stop the Dwayne bloodline before it gets too strong, and William Dwayne is the perfect target to put an end to the royal family.

''You are not worthy to be a Dwayne; I will destroy you and the rest of your useless family!'' the goblin king yells and charges towards William.

William digs his feet into the dirt beneath him, stands his ground, and fires another ball of blue energy. The goblin king dodges the ball and continues his attack, slicing Williams eyes out, but William continues, fueled by his rage and determination to not let his new friends down. He charges towards Grom until they meet each other face to face, and they exchange disastrous blows.

Kobi the fabled has made it to the black warlock and is about to slice his head off when a spell is sent towards him, a blast of black energy hits Kobi the fabled, and he is flung 20 feet away, causing a small crater to form where he lays, his leg seemingly broken. He grunts in pain.

Damian, the black warlock, grins and walks towards Kobi the fabled. He grabs him by the hair and pulls him up. Kobi screams in agony.

''What a pathetic creature you are, and to think that I was going to make you fools a part of my plan to take over the kingdom, now, I will kill you and then move onto the next person in your silly little crew, and soon, everyone will bow down before me and the goblins, even Grom himself, you are nothing, and no one will remember your name, goodbye Kobi the forgotten!'', just as the black warlock initiates the killing blow to Kobi the fabled, George breaks through from the shackles he has been imprisoned in located in the goblin kings throne room where Damian is about to finish off Kobi the fabled, George's body bulges and grows in size as he turns into a 20-foot mammoth of a man, his humanity slowly fading. He steams towards the black warlock and punches him square in the face. The black warlock's nose and jaw are shattered from the impact, and he flies back several metres. The black warlock struggles to get back up. ''This is not my final fight, you scum!'' Damian screams with the last of his energy before collapsing once again.

George the devious rushes over towards where Kobi the fabled lay. ''Get up, man, this fight is not over!''

''Your body, how did it do that?'' Kobi the fabled asked while coughing up a storm.

George the devious chuckled, ''I'll tell you as soon as we pummelled this dirty green bastard. Now get yourself up and help us finish this!''

Kobi staggered up, regrouped himself, and limped off to continue slicing goblins with his cutlass while letting out a war cry.

William and the goblin king continue their duel; the goblin king is winning and slices Williams hand clean off. William looks at his hand and grunts in pain, but he knows he must continue to fight back or all is lost! He is Dwayne! He must not lose! The Goblin King swings his fist with fury, sending William Dwayne crashing into the ground. His body is bloody and slowly losing all life; his breathing becomes rugged. "I cannot lose." He whispers, his heartbeat getting slower and slower. "I must not fail." William thinks as the goblin king slowly approaches him. "For the future of the kingdom and for the people who need me!" William screams, standing up, his body covered in blood and his face bruised and beaten. "You are a strong human, but you are no match for people like me." The goblin king says it bluntly. "We will see about that." William says that as he summons a blast of white energy, the energy is powerful, and the blast sends the goblin king flying back.

''ARRGHH'' Grom screams after being hurt for the first time in over 50 years.

All four men bind together and use all their combined power and Williams Arcane staff to perform the spell of ultimate destruction. The magic is so powerful that the entire slums of Gratsid are destroyed, and the goblin army disintegrates just like that.

They all look over to see the huge skeleton belonging to the goblin king.

''It's finished. Thank you for coming to my aid.'' George speaks while shrinking back down to his usual height.

George the devious, William Dwayne, Frederick the brave, and Kobi the fabled have formed a powerful bond during the battle and now can see past the surface-level assumptions they once had, as they are now true pals til' the end. William Dwayne is now free from the confines of his father, and all have become local heroes and champions of the people of Gratsid as they freed them from the goblin kings tyranny.
